I really don’t get the point why Incendiary grenades are worthless vs. armored targets…
Just assuming “hard” material shell encasing a “flesh” wearer, it’s like turning up an hoven an bake whatever it’s inside.

I also think there is a lack of balance between Acid, Incendiary and Energy damage, regarding either to grenades and weapons!

I think that if Acid inflicts 100% to regular enemies and 130% to Armored enemies, Incendiary should do the other way around, meaning that Incendiary should inflict 100% to Armored and 130% to regular. But that’s not the case:

by normal sense… metal doesnt burn like flesh, so there should be reduced damage… the armor will protect some of the damage… so it cannot, rather should not deal 100% to armored, but yes. the whole idea of incendiary dealing zero damage is absurd, it should be reduced but certainly not zero… this makes the incendiary grenades largely useless later…

i cant understand why energy damage should be reduced to 50% against armored … does somebody have an explanation ??

My common sense says otherwise regarding Incendiary and armored targets. If you get on fire while inside an iron made armor, basically you’re trapping the heat inside the armor. Anyway, this is just a game, so anything can happen that our imagination wants.

that is only if the fire can reach you past that armor…in films lyk terminator i have seen armored things get past fire easily, as they are covered fully … anyways.. i dont use incendiary so i cant complain… but it would make researching the dragon 2 pistol a lot more logical in the game if they added around atleast 50% damage to armored…

Yep, it’s Incendiary grenades doing 0 damage vs. armored that’s disturbing even in a Sci-Fi world with its own techs and whatnot.
Some amount of damage should be done, even solely on the assumption that grenades are “explosive” by definition, thus causing some sort of “shock wave” in the area they “explode”… And Incendiary frags are soo expensive. Why make them less than usefull?

acid grenades are definitely more useful… but later in the game… you will find that both are quite useless…as u will be surprised to see how little damage they do in dominion territory… throw g1 acid or incendiary to a synthetic and he will just laugh all day…
